My House in Umbria is a British/Italian film starring Maggie Smith. One thing I like about it is that I'm sure it will be memorable. We watched it last night, but this afternoon the characters are still vivid and alive to me. None of them are without flaw, yet all are lovable. I like this very much.
This is a story about guilt and forgiveness. It's also a story about the power of a beautiful place to heal. I can still see the vinyards and flowers of Italy. I can see the patio where they ate under the wisteria. Very apropos for the Christmas season, ithis is also a story about the healing powers of a child. This film is well worth seeing. 3 stars
